Truth Social Users Are Fuming Over ‘Censorship’ on Trump’s Platform
“Sadly, I see so many innocent posts that are marked as sensitive,” one pro-Trump user wrote.

Claims of “censorship” are flying on Donald Trump’s alternative social media platform, Truth Social.
The main point of contention among users is that Trump’s site continues to apply “sensitive content” notices obscuring some posts, including a popular anti-Biden meme that mocks the president over increasing inflation rates.
“This content may not be suitable for all audiences,” the notice states.
That content warning has also covered up a popular graphic depicting Jesus Christ and a quote from the Bible with a gray filter, leaving users fuming.
“Truth Social loves censorship,” one user wrote, whose bio on the site included the hashtag “NoMoreRINOs.”

Another pro-Trump user, “Ultra MAGA Peanut,” responded on the platform that Truth Social “should be embarrassed over this censorship.”
“Sadly, I see so many innocent posts that are marked as sensitive,” the user, @sammyrisley, wrote. “It is almost as bad as Twitter,” a further MAGA-loving user declared.

“Thought Trump was all about the Truth!!!!” another user exclaimed.
A Truth Social spokesperson didn’t return The Daily Beast’s request for comment on Wednesday afternoon.
The continued drama follows in the wake of a user claiming Trump had blocked her on his own platform.
At the end of June, a popular pro-MAGA and verified user on the platform, @Lara8, said that the former president had “blocked” her.
“I have no idea, but President Trump has blocked me today on Truth Social,” she wrote at the time. “All of you who know me, know I’m a very loyal supporter of President Trump and #FreeSpeech fighter. I hope it was a glitch or a mistake.”
